Lecture Title: "Black Political Thought Diversity and Continuity"
January 8th, 2009
Mark Q. Sawyer lectures as a part of UCLA's African American StudiesProgram which seeks to provide students with a comprehensive and multidisciplinary introduction to the crucial sociocultural and social justice issues facing African Americans and their counterparts in other areas of the African diaspora today.

For Africanists, also known as communitarians, problems within Africa are thought to be caused because the real flesh-and-blood communities that comprise Africa are marginalized from public life as so many "tribes". Therefore, the solution is understood to be the need to defend culture and put Africa's age-old communities at the center of African politics. It is also argued that there is a need to "deexoticize" Africa and banalise it, rather than understand Africa as exceptionalized and exoticized.

African Americans

African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans) are an ethnic group of Americans (citizens or residents of the United States) with total or partial ancestry from any of the Black racial groups of Africa. The term may also be used to include only those individuals who are descended from enslaved Africans. As a compound adjective the term is usually hyphenated as African-American.

Programs and departments of African-American studies were first created in the 1960s and 1970s as a result of inter-ethnic student and faculty activism at many universities, sparked by a five-month strike for black studies at San Francisco State. In February 1968, San Francisco State hired sociologistNathan Hare to coordinate the first black studies program and write a proposal for the first Department of Black Studies; the department was created in September 1968 and gained official status at the end of the five-months strike in the spring of 1969. The creation of programs and departments in Black studies was a common demand of protests and sit-ins by minority students and their allies, who felt that their cultures and interests were underserved by the traditional academic structures.

American studies

American studies or American civilization is an interdisciplinary field of scholarship that examines American history, society, and culture. It traditionally incorporates the study of history, literature, and critical theory, but also welcomes research methods from a variety of other disciplines.

Scholarship in American studies has most often concerned the United States. In the past decades, however, it has also sought to study other nations and territories in the Americas, as well as American interactions with countries across the globe. Subjects studied within the field are varied, but often examine the histories of American communities, ideologies, or cultural productions. Examples might include topics in American social movements, literature, media, tourism, folklore, and intellectual history.

Mirjam de Bruijn: Digitalisation and the Field of African Studies (Carl Schlettwein Lecture 2017)

Urbanisation in Africa also means rapid technological change. At the beginning of this century mobile telephony appeared in urban Africa, and ten years later it covered large parts of rural Africa. Nowadays (cheap Chinese) smartphones enable internet and social media access. These are part of technological transformations in digitalization that are supposed to bridge the urban and the rural and will make these borders blurred. They do so through the creation of economic opportunities, information flows, influencing people’s definition of self, of belonging and citizenship. These changes are perceived with huge optimism. The message of ICT4D (Information and Communication Technology for Development) for Africa has been one of glory and revolution. Practice however also shows other sides. In...

From all parts of the world, new forms of Pan African activities are emerging to guide new actions from the grassroots. Even in the midst of the declaration of fighting for the declaration of fighting for the goals of a prosperous Africa by 2063, the current political/economic/intelligentsia are still wedded to a project of seeking to mimic the European capitalist forms. How do we achieve that quantum leap in our consciousness, so that the African traditions of emancipation based on self-determined politics and self-determined activity becomes the reference point for the people and for the new phase of revolution? Micere Mugo refered to the Pan African activates at the grassroots as the lived experiences of the Pan African peoples in motion. The seminar will agree with C.L.R. James that the black peoples are at the center of the world events and that the revolutionaries of the world need the Africans as much as the Africans need them. C.L.R. James and Kwame Nkrumah were two of the most outstanding Pan African revolutionaries of the 20th Century and their writings and political practice holds much for educators who want to learn the positive and negative lessons of the Pan African education as an insurgent project. Emancipation and emancipatory ideas have to be redefined at every stage of the Pan African movement in so far as the politics of pan Africanism has undergone changes over the time. What is now clear is that the linear ideas of “development” have failed and the ideas of yesterday are now found wanting for the revolutionary transformations needed in this century.

The Surprising History of African American Studies and the Crisis of Race in Higher Education (2006)

Black pride is a movement in response to dominant white cultures and ideologies that encourages black people to celebrate black culture and embrace their Africa...

Black pride is a movement in response to dominant white cultures and ideologies that encourages black people to celebrate black culture and embrace their African heritage. In theUnited States, it was a direct response to white racism especially during the Civil Rights Movement. Related movements include black power, black nationalism, Black Panthers, Afrocentrism, and black supremacism.
The black pride is a major theme in some works of African American popular musicians. Civil Rights Movement era songs such as The Impressions's hit songs "We're a Winner"[3] and "Keep on Pushing"[4] and James Brown's "Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud" celebrated black pride. Beyoncé's half-time performance at Super Bowl 50, which included homages to Malcolm X and the Black Panthers, has been described by the media as a display of black pride.
Beauty standards are a major theme of black pride. Black pride was represented in slogans such as "black is beautiful"[8][9] which challenged white beauty standards.[10] Prior to the black pride movement, the majority of black people straightened their hair or wore wigs.[9] The adoption natural hair styles such as the afro, cornrows, and dreadlocks were seen as expressions of black pride.[9][10][11][12]
In the 1960s-1970s, kente cloth and the Black Panthers uniform were worn in the U.S. as expressions of black pride.[9] Headscarves were sometimes worn by Nation of Islam and other Black Muslim Movement members as an expression of black pride and a symbol of faith.[11] Other women used scarves with African prints to cover their hair.[9]
Maxine Leeds Craig argues that all-black beauty pageants such as Miss Black America were institutionalized forms of black pride created in response to exclusion from white beauty pageants.
The slogan has been used in the United States by African Americans to celebrate heritage[1] and personal pride. The black pride movement is closely linked with the developments of the American civil rights movement and Black Power movement,[2][15] during which figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr., A. Philip Randolph, Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael spoke out against the conditions of the United States' segregated society, and lobbied for better treatment for people of all races.

Urbanisation in Africa also means rapid technological change. At the beginning of this century mobile telephony appeared in urban Africa, and ten years later it covered large parts of rural Africa. Nowadays (cheap Chinese) smartphones enable internet and social media access. These are part of technological transformations in digitalization that are supposed to bridge the urban and the rural and will make these borders blurred. They do so through the creation of economic opportunities, information flows, influencing people’s definition of self, of belonging and citizenship. These changes are perceived with huge optimism. The message of ICT4D (Information and Communication Technology for Development) for Africa has been one of glory and revolution. Practice however also shows other sides. Increasingly, publications show that we are facing a new form of digital divide in which Africa is (again) at the margins.
These transformations influence the relation between urban and rural Africa, and between ‘Africa’ and the World and hence the field of African Studies both in its objects as in its forms of knowledge production and in the formulation of the problems that we should study. In this lecture I will reflect on the past two decades of my research experience in West and Central Africa and how for me the field has changed. It has forced me to decolonize my thinking even more, and to enter into co-creation in knowledge production. How can I translate these lessons into a form of critical knowledge production, what are the pitfalls and what is the use of technological change for the redefinition of African studies for the 21st century?

From all parts of the world, new forms of Pan African activities are emerging to guide new actions from the grassroots. Even in the midst of the declaration of fighting for the declaration of fighting for the goals of a prosperous Africa by 2063, the current political/economic/intelligentsia are still wedded to a project of seeking to mimic the European capitalist forms. How do we achieve that quantum leap in our consciousness, so that the African traditions of emancipation based on self-determined politics and self-determined activity becomes the reference point for the people and for the new phase of revolution? Micere Mugo refered to the Pan African activates at the grassroots as the lived experiences of the Pan African peoples in motion. The seminar will agree with C.L.R. James that the black peoples are at the center of the world events and that the revolutionaries of the world need the Africans as much as the Africans need them. C.L.R. James and Kwame Nkrumah were two of the most outstanding Pan African revolutionaries of the 20th Century and their writings and political practice holds much for educators who want to learn the positive and negative lessons of the Pan African education as an insurgent project. Emancipation and emancipatory ideas have to be redefined at every stage of the Pan African movement in so far as the politics of pan Africanism has undergone changes over the time. What is now clear is that the linear ideas of “development” have failed and the ideas of yesterday are now found wanting for the revolutionary transformations needed in this century.

The Surprising History of African American Studies and the Crisis of Race in Higher Education (2006)

Black pride is a movement in response to dominant white cultures and ideologies that encourages black people to celebrate black culture and embrace their African heritage. In theUnited States, it was a direct response to white racism especially during the Civil Rights Movement. Related movements include black power, black nationalism, Black Panthers, Afrocentrism, and black supremacism.
The black pride is a major theme in some works of African American popular musicians. Civil Rights Movement era songs such as The Impressions's hit songs "We're a Winner"[3] and "Keep on Pushing"[4] and James Brown's "Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud" celebrated black pride. Beyoncé's half-time performance at Super Bowl 50, which included homages to Malcolm X and the Black Panthers, has been described by the media as a display of black pride.
Beauty standards are a major theme of black pride. Black pride was represented in slogans such as "black is beautiful"[8][9] which challenged white beauty standards.[10] Prior to the black pride movement, the majority of black people straightened their hair or wore wigs.[9] The adoption natural hair styles such as the afro, cornrows, and dreadlocks were seen as expressions of black pride.[9][10][11][12]
In the 1960s-1970s, kente cloth and the Black Panthers uniform were worn in the U.S. as expressions of black pride.[9] Headscarves were sometimes worn by Nation of Islam and other Black Muslim Movement members as an expression of black pride and a symbol of faith.[11] Other women used scarves with African prints to cover their hair.[9]
Maxine Leeds Craig argues that all-black beauty pageants such as Miss Black America were institutionalized forms of black pride created in response to exclusion from white beauty pageants.
The slogan has been used in the United States by African Americans to celebrate heritage[1] and personal pride. The black pride movement is closely linked with the developments of the American civil rights movement and Black Power movement,[2][15] during which figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr., A. Philip Randolph, Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael spoke out against the conditions of the United States' segregated society, and lobbied for better treatment for people of all races.
